For more than half a century, Cornwell’s Turkeyville USA has been a place for families to come and enjoy a day on the farm, and this June the Cornwell family will be taking the next step in that tradition by introducing summer camps to their lineup of activities.
Elyse Cornwell-Bibbings, the fourth generation of Cornwell’s to lead Turkeyville, says the new programs are a perfect fit. “We’ve always been a great place for kids to enjoy themselves. We have a vintage arcade, swimming pools, farm animals, 400 acres of wide open fields. It’s a perfect place to be a kid in the summer. And I should know, I grew up running around this place, and my kids grew up here.”
The new program, called Camp Cornwell for Kids, will launch with two weeklong sessions in June. Each camp session will run Monday through Friday, from 9am – 3pm and feature a wide variety of activities from singing and dance classes, to cookie baking, to crafts and outdoor activities.
“Campers will have the chance to sing, dance and act with our professional actors, as well as bake and cook and craft under the supervision of our wonderful camp staff,” says Cornwell-Bibbings. The specific activities of each session will be guided by the theme for the week. The first session, WICKED WEEK, will run June 8-12, and is themed after the musical and hit movies, Wicked. The second session, TOTALLY TAYLOR, running June 15- 19, will be inspired by the music of Taylor Swift.
